Tattoos of Flora and Fauna Nostalgic of Woodcut Engravings by Pony Reinhardt

Tattoo artist Pony Reinhardt designs delicate collisions of plants, animals, and elements of space and alchemy in her black line tattoos evocative of vintage woodcut etchings. Studies of anatomy combine with stars and crystals while woodland beasts right out of a storybook are wreathed in densely illustrated greenery. Reinhardt graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a BFA degree in fibers, and her artwork has been exhibited at the Smithsonian National Gallery of Art as well as earning some awards and accolades. She established an appointment-only tattoo studio in Portland named Tenderfoot Studio, and you can see much more of her pieces on Instagram.
